Cruise Lines Play The Name Game

Crystal Cruises recently announced that a third ship will join its fleet.

The vessel will be similar in size to Crystal's 940-passenger Harmony and Symphony--built in 1990 and 1995, respectively.

Meanwhile, Silversea Cruises, the small luxury line, has re-named one of its two sister vessels under construction as the Silver Whisper. The 388-passenger ship is set for delivery in July 2001 and was named Silver Mirage. The sister ship, Silver Shadow, was launched last month.

Norwegian Cruise Line has dubbed its next vessel, expected to debut in September 2001, the Norwegian Sun.
